All The Time (Pre-Order)

The first new studio album since 2010 by soul giants the Temptations, All The Time, is set for release via UMe

The album contains their versions of songs made famous by Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Michael Jackson, The Weeknd and others, alongside three new original tracks. It features the group’s current line-up of co-founder and sole surviving original member Otis Williams alongside Ron Tyson, Terry Weeks, Larry Braggs and Willie Greene. All The Time arrives 54 years after the appearance of the Temptations’ first Motown album Meet The Temptations, released as they began to build their rare and legendary place in the history of soul music.

Among many notable inclusions, the Temptations’ version of Sam Smith’s ‘Stay With Me’ becomes a gospel-tinged love song, and the group bring their unique presence to The Weeknd’s Fifty Shades Of Grey track ‘Earned It.’ Willams’ unmistakeable speaking voice rings out over the introduction of Sheeran’s ‘Thinking Out Loud.’

The new songs on All The Time are ‘Waitin’ On You,’ ‘Be My Wife’ and the funky ‘Move Them Britches.’ The bonus tracks on the digital album are a ‘Gospel Mix’ of ‘Stay With Me’ and a ‘Heathens Mix’ of ‘Move Them Britches.’

Last autumn, the new musical Ain’t Too Proud—The Life and Times of The Temptations became the highest-grossing production in the 50-year history of the Repertory Theatre in Berkeley, California. It has five-week engagements at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC in June and July, at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in August and September and at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre in October, ahead of its Broadway debut.

As the modern-day Temptations continue to tour the world, Williams observes: “I’m 76 now. Looking back, I never could have imagined where my life has taken me. I’m so proud of what the Temptations have achieved, and I’m grateful for every opportunity we’ve been so fortunate to receive. The music carries me. Together, we lift our voices with love and wonder. We had a great time recording All The Time and we hope everyone enjoys it.”

Dock Of The Bay Sessions (Pre-Order)

The 12-song DOCK OF THE BAY SESSIONS collection was compiled with input from Roger Armstrong of Ace Records and Otis biographer Jonathan Gould and has the Redding family’s full endorsement. Although the individual tracks have been previously released across a smattering of posthumous albums and compilations, this marks the first time they have been assembled to resemble what this album could possibly have been. In the liner notes, musician-journalist Bob Stanley writes: “This album is the first indication of a new Otis Redding, one that has slayed audiences in Europe, one which won him a whole new crowd at the Monterey International Pop Festival.”

Things Have Changed (Pre-Order)

For her tenth album and first album on a major label in nearly fifty years, legendary soul singer Bettye LaVette takes
on the songs of Bob Dylan with the grit and experience that makes her one of the greatest soul singers alive. Things
Have Changed is a masterpiece of interpretation of one of the greatest songwriters alive, by one of the greatest soul
singers alive. Produced by Steve Jordan, the album spans Dylan’s catalog and features guest appearances by
Keith Richards and Trombone Shorty.

The Meters

Few funk groups have had as far-reaching an influence as New Orleans band The Meters, the project of keyboardist/vocalist Art Neville, and the famed house band of Allen Tousaint. During their mid-60s-to-late-70s heyday, they released a heavy mixture of instrumental and vocal albums and singles of Louisiana-inflected soul, R&B, and funk music that continues to inspire and marvel, and get covered by groups and artists like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jaco Pastorius, Widespread Panic, and even The Grateful Dead.

The Meters had already made a name for themselves by 1969, as a backing act for the likes of Lee Dorsey and Betty Harris, but their own legacy as a group began that same year with the release of their self-titled album debut. Their distinct New Orleans swing set themselves apart from the other funk groups of the time, as they plowed their way through a bevy of groovy instrumental tracks, including interpretations of songs by Sly Stone and Buddy Buie. The Meters was additionally noteworthy for the inclusion of the track "Cissy Strut", which became a signature tune for the group, a Billboard Hot 100 hit, and a staple of hip-hop production, having been sampled in tracks by N.W.A., A Tribe Called Quest, 2 Live Crew, and Del The Funky Homosapien, to name but a few. A staple of the genre, that set a path for years and years of funk music innovation and influence.

Hustle With Speed (Pre-Order)

Get On Down proudly presents another top-notch vinyl reissue, from their long-running series of collaborations with James Brown's famed 70s funk label People Records.

As the 1970s wore on, the classic funk sounds that had defined James Brown's backing band, The J.B.'s, gave way to the rise of disco music. Fred Wesley and his collective of musicians couldn't resist the chance to make their mark, releasing Hustle With Speed in 1975, with Charles Bobbit and Don Love producing, and the godfather himself, James Brown co-writing and providing arrangements. Hustle With Speed didn't cross over like the band had hoped it would, but it was nonetheless remarkable album, featuring The J.B.'s signature funky style married with disco to exciting effect. All the while there's still plenty to be had for the funk die-hard, from the brass blow-out jam "Here We Come, Here We Go, Here We Are," to the trombone-heavy "All Aboard The Funky Soul Train," to the powerhouse opening salvo that is "(It's Not The Express) It's The JBs Monaurail."

Songs from Hustle With Speed would take on lives of their own decades after the album's release, through sampled appearances in tracks by Jay-Z, Nas, Eric B. & Rakim, Ultramagnetic MCs, EPMD, and many more.

1. (It’s Not The Express) It’s The J.B.’s Monaurail!
2. Here We Come, Here We Go, Here We Are
3. All Aboard The Funky Soul Train
4. Transmograpfication
5. Thank You For Letting Me Be Myself And You Be Yours
6. Taurus, Aries, & Leo
7. Things & Do

Yes We Can

Including Songs "Yes We Can Part I & Part II", "Sneakin' Sally Thru The Alley", "Who's Gonna' Help Brother Get Further"

Lee Dorsey began his career as a lightweight boxer in the early 1950s and moved on to become an influential African American pop and R&B singer during the 1960s.

His successful period began when he met songwriter and record producer Allen Toussaint with whom he recorded several songs like "Ya Ya", "Working In The Coalmine", "Ride Your Pony" and many more which all charted in the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

In 1970 Dorsey recorded the Yes We Can album again with Allen Toussaint together with the support band The Meters. Several of the songs were covered by major artists who scored hits with them later that decade; "Yes We Can" by The Pointer Sisters and "Sneakin' Sally Thru The Alley" by Robert Palmer. The other songs are straight up funky tracks and have a variety of styles and sounds. Included are the protest soul recording "Who's Gonna' Help Brother Get Further" and the somewhat hilarious comedy song "Would You". All in all it stands as a great soul album for that time.

All ‘N All leads off with the unbelievable funk groove smash Serpentine Fire featuring the voice and stellar persona of the late great Maurice White. Further smashes drove the album to the top of the charts with monster hits like Fantasy and I'll Write A Song For You, both featuring the super vocals of Phillip Bailey, plus the Grammy Award winning instrumental Runnin' and the great Maurice White smash hits Love's Holiday and Be Ever Wonderful.

Right On Time

Including The Hits "Strawberry Letter 23," "Runnin' For Your Lovin'" And "Q"

Louis and George Johnson formed The Brothers Johnson under the auspices of Quincy Jones in 1975, releasing this second album in 1977. With Quincy at the helm as producer, the duo quickly broke wide open with its debut album.

The Brothers Johnson's second album Right on Time consists of some of the best proto-typical funk-soul grooves from the late 70s. The album is again produced by Quincy Jones and his contributions ensure the high quality of the instrumental arrangements and general glossiness of the audio production as in their debut album.

Several of the tracks are as good as anything Michael Jackson or Earth Wind and Fire would've produced around this time, particularly "Runnin' For Your Lovin'", "Strawberry Letter 23" and "Never Leave You Lonely". There are also two fantastic instrumentals, "Q" and "Brother Man" that are both irrepressibly funky, with Louis Johnson's tight bass providing the solid rhythmic foundation he is famous for. Fusion fans will be familiar with several of the backing musicians: Harvey Mason, Dave Grusin, and Lee Ritenour to name a few.

The single "Strawberry Letter 23" gained a #5 spot in the US billboard charts and #1 on the US R&B billboard. The album received platinum.

1. Runnin’ For Your Lovin’
2. Free Yourself, Be Yourself
3. Q
4. Right On Time
5. Runnin’ For Your Lovin’
6. Free Yourself, Be Yourself
